This charity was founded in 1379 by brothel-keeper Agnes Bottenham. As an act of penitance she opened the hospital on the site of the brothel to provide for 12 poor residents, give temporary shelter for 12 poor visitors and care for the sick. It was among the charities brought under corporation control by the city charter of 1612. The current building dates from 1702 and is built around a courtyard, with its own chapel.
